Top Five

As required by federal law, here's my current top five show list of the current concert year (September 1 - August 31).

1. Ryan Adams (Anaheim & San Diego) New album out the end of the month with a tour this fall.
2. The Hold Steady Good times. Good times
3. Bright Eyes Awesome band. It would be nice though if Conor would crack a smile once in awhile
4. My Morning Jacket Hopefully James's recent haircut won't be a Samson moment.
5. Ben Kweller/Gomez Two great acts for the price of one

Just outside the top five: Amos Lee. M. Ward. Modest Mouse, Brett Dennen, Pete Yorn
